There are many lies spread in the hope to get fat people to mutilate their bodies for the cause of weight loss.

With the latest CDC debate on exactly how aweful the consequences are to being fat leading to the conclusion that nobody really knows much about fat, in a logical world (she said, tongue firmly planted in cheek), weight loss surgeries are probably the last thing to be considering.

I'm not sure what happened to the hippocratic oath of "first, do no harm" but it apparently has been surgically removed from weight loss clinics.
